Comment from AndreThreeThou


The small details of the flower are everywhere, and they go well together with all the great design elements, like the offset center of the flower, the slightly symmetrical shape of the flower petals, the balanced out contrast and light. I like how the blue and orange colors are both in this photo, and they push each other outward, as they are complementary colors of the color spectrum.

I've never seen such a blue flower :) It is a lovely shade and the center colors look great too. I like the silkiness of the strands in the very center and how well they stand out in this shot.

    Thank you so much Grace, these are my favorite poppies! I tried to grow them in my yard but they didn?t do well for me at all, my daughter in law has them and they come back year after year.

    They really are an incredible color!
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


I love blue and this one really rocks!

What with that contrasting colored reproductive features!

Hope I can finally propagate this one if seeds are available here in the Philippines!

Super up close and personal!
Sharply focused textures draw us right into the details!

Thanks so much my friend for sharing!

    Thank you so very much! These are Himalayan blue poppies and I believe there are China blues too.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel


WOW hyper macro settings - so it turns out to be hyper clear and sharp in details - your frame is well chosen to show this beautiful center with all the stems so perfectly
excellent genuine contrast and lighting while playing as well with the sunlight
a beautiful composition with a strong first impression, well done again

Oh my, my favorite flower up close and personal! This is a beautiful macro image of this blue poppy, with excellent detail and such gorgeous color. The shadows give it perfect depth and amazing dimensions.
This is just beautiful in every way.

Comment from Nature Rick


Very nice closeup of this Blue Poppy flower. I like this soft blue color, it really makes the stamen stand out. Natural colors and tones in the scene. Good lighting, nice detail, nice soft bokeh, sharp focus, good DoF, and well balanced photo and nicely composed in the frame. Overall, a very Beautiful Closeup Photograph, well done Pat!
